Dear SAME Members and Visitors
The National Office has been made aware of emails, and in some cases text messages from scammers who pretend to be from the SAME leadership team, or staff members. You may have received one or something similar. This is an all-too common issue these days and we all need to be extra vigilant. If you receive an email from an individual saying they are with SAME and are not sure about its authenticity, please do not open it. Contact us immediately. We will be happy to verify the email’s legitimacy.
